What's new

MUSIC: What are you listening to ? ?

Louis Cole showed us his love of thinking faster than most of us by taking high-speed off-beat 32nd notes in his stride on the kick drum in his short piece, Drum Solo.



(That video notates one bar as two to make things easier on the eyes, making 32nds 16ths, but the point is, at the speed he's playing, he creates subdivisions that are about twice as fast as most people think about. I've seen it notated as 32nds in another YouTube video.)

Today, Knower has messed with us again by using a riff that's just off triplet-feel 12/8 in the form of accenting every third 32nd note instead - with a 32nd-note jazz piano solo over the top - I mean, of course.

Oh, and with an orchestra as well.

All recorded in a house as usual.

You already know who I’m siding with on this one…
I loved Kanye's first couple of albums, pretty much up to MBDTF. After that he lost me. Guess I got old, or maybe I just don't like anti-semetic rants. I mean, I get that the guy needs meds and help, but the flirting with KKK and nazi imagery, bigging up bona fide racists, rapists and nazi's.. Shock value has replaced musical and lyrical value, and I'm not feeling it at all.

Allegri - Miserere mei, Deus​

Inherited from my father after he passed away a decade ago, this recording... I arrived 20 minutes too late to say goodbye, flying late from across the country, but his iPod was gifted to me. Among other treasures (Arvo Pärt) on it was this song.

My father was a tenor, a "golden voice" very skilled in harmonies. For a few decades he was choir director at the Catholic church around the corner, so I grew up around choirs and the pipe organ. I'm still drawn to these massive soundscapes...
